From Experience to Judgement

On the Fundamental Elements of the Husserlian Critique of Kant's Transcendental Logic

Abstract

This paper will attempt to discuss the assumptions and fundamental elements of the turn that Husserl gives to the meaning and function of transcendental logic. Starting from the configuration that transcendental logic assumes in Kant, the assumptions and consequences of the Kantian approach will be discussed from a phenomenological Husserlian perspective. The reconfiguration that Husserl gives to certain fundamental theoretical nodes, such as the relationship between sensibility and understanding, and that between thought and experience, will be considered. The decisive moments of the passage from a conception that makes thought a sphere separate from experience to the recognition of the essential connection between thought and experience are presented in their theoretical issues, finally arriving at the project of a foundation of logic from its experiential basis.
